Abstract
“We should leave the world a better place than we found it”.
Any sustainable development must satisfy the three pillars, that is; Economical, Social, and
Environmental pillars.
Construction is broad; buildings, roads, bridges, dams, telecom and water infrastructures, among others
are all part of construction. Sustainability in the context of construction thus means meeting our housing
or infrastructure needs without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own.
In Uganda, some of the sustainable constructions have incorporated green energy such as solar power
systems, water efficient toilet systems, environmentally friendly construction materials like wood.
